Paper Doll

a paper doll
not in my plan
I break the mold
walk off that stand
there are no tabs
to truly fit
the fire of me
when I am lit

who I am
is not flat
no empty shell
imagine that
when picking partners
for your solitary game
pass me by
all the same

Gosh, Helen. I remember playing with those paper dolls when I was little. What an analogy!

1slick_lady,
I loved the layers in this three dimensional write.

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown

What cool write!  You give this metaphor new life with your charisma and depth.  Please publish your poetry!

Take care,
Melissa~
